Do's and Don'ts:

Do Buff Up on Your Theatre: Well, you don't really need to be a theatre buff to enjoy your Forbidden Broadway tickets. But it's a good idea to know in advance that other plays are the basis for the jokes, so it helps to know what they're talking about.

Do Use the Bathroom Prior: It's not a very long play, running at an hour and 40 minutes, but it is hilarious. If you have to use the bathroom, just do it, or laughing will be very uncomfortable.

Don'tThink Too Much: The vast majority of the jokes in Forbidden Broadway are related to other plays, so if you don't get a punchline, don't worry about it. Just be ready for the next one.

Don't Skip This One: If you're looking for comedic entertainment, don't miss out on buying Forbidden Broadway tickets. There aren't many shows that are as funny as this one.
